What we call "the sun" is just a load of stuff, we label it as a group for convenience. Just because we label it as such, it doesn't become its own object in its own right. It's an abstract concept. It is made up of parts which already existed in other forms. At some point we look at it and go, "Ah! We'll call that lot of stuff the sun".
This is not the same as things coming out of nowhere, like you're trying to imply the universe has to. You're saying a god made it from nothing, while simultaneously saying things can't be made from nothing.
Again: how can you know it's possible this God can exist?
